Reflective Toughened Glass

Glass for Comfort 

Solar Control Glass

Reflective glass, also known as reflective-coated glass or solar control glass, is a type of architectural glass that has a thin, metallic coating applied to one of its surfaces. This coating reflects a portion of the sunlight that hits the glass, reducing glare and heat transmission into buildings while maintaining transparency. Reflective glass is commonly used in modern buildings for its energy-efficient properties, aesthetic appeal, and ability to enhance privacy by making it difficult to see inside from the outside during the day.

 

 
 

Here are some key characteristics and benefits of reflective glass:

  1. Solar Control: Reflective glass is designed to reflect a significant portion of the incoming solar radiation, reducing the amount of heat that is transmitted through the glass into the interior of a building. This can help in maintaining a more comfortable indoor temperature and reduce the need for excessive air conditioning.

  2. Glare Reduction: The reflective coating on the glass helps reduce glare caused by direct sunlight. This is particularly useful in commercial buildings, residential spaces, and vehicles where excessive glare can be a problem.

  3. Privacy: Reflective glass can provide a level of privacy during the day. The reflective coating makes it difficult for people outside to see into the building while still allowing those inside to see out.

  4. Aesthetics: The reflective appearance of the glass can contribute to the overall aesthetics of a building. It is often used in modern architectural designs to achieve a sleek and contemporary look.

  5. UV Protection: Some types of reflective glass coatings can also block a certain percentage of ultraviolet (UV) rays, helping to protect interior furnishings and materials from fading and damage caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight.

Low-E (low-emissivity) glass is a type of energy-efficient glass designed to minimize the amount of ultraviolet and infrared light that passes through without compromising the amount of visible light transmitted. It features a microscopically thin, transparent coating that reflects heat while allowing light to pass through. This helps to keep indoor environments warmer in winter and cooler in summer, reducing energy costs and enhancing comfort. Low-E glass is commonly used in windows and skylights for residential and commercial buildings.

Reflective glass is commonly used in various applications for both functional and aesthetic purposes:

  1. Commercial Buildings: It’s often utilized in office buildings, skyscrapers, and other commercial structures to reduce solar heat gain, enhance energy efficiency, and provide a sleek, modern appearance.
  2. Residential Windows: In homes, reflective glass can be used in windows to increase privacy and reduce cooling costs by reflecting sunlight.
  3. Facades and Curtain Walls: It’s frequently employed in building facades and curtain wall systems to control solar heat and glare while contributing to the building’s exterior aesthetics.
  4. Automobiles: Reflective glass is also used in vehicles to reduce interior heat buildup and glare, improving comfort and visibility.

In these applications, reflective glass helps manage heat, enhance privacy, and improve energy efficiency while contributing to a building’s or vehicle’s overall design.

Jaipur Tuff has a wide range of reflective glass.

You can choose reflective glass according to your weather conditions. 

You can also choose your glass based on your requirement of Light Transmission, Light Reflection (External and Internal), Solar Factor (SF), Shading Coefficient (SC) and U Value (W/Sq.M K)

There is two types of reflective glass:

  1. Hard coated reflective glass: Can be used as single glaze unit.
  2. Soft coated reflective glass: Can not be used as single glaze unit, it is used in Laminated glass and Insulated Glass (DGU).

 

Reflective glass needs an advanced processing system to maintain solar and light efficiency of the glass, Jaipur Tuff has world’s best machinery and technology specialists to process the reflective glass.
We are also a certified processor of all types of reflective glasses.

The Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) is a measure of how much solar radiation passes through a window, door, or skylight, both directly transmitted and absorbed and subsequently released inward. It is expressed as a number between 0 and 1, with lower values indicating better performance in blocking heat from sunlight. A lower SHGC means less solar heat enters the building, improving energy efficiency and indoor comfort, especially in warm climates. SHGC is a critical factor in the selection of glazing for buildings to optimize thermal performance and reduce cooling costs.

The U-Value, also known as thermal transmittance, measures the rate at which heat is lost through a material or assembly, such as a window, door, wall, or roof. It is expressed in watts per square meter per degree Celsius (W/m²·°C).

A lower U-Value indicates better insulation properties, meaning less heat loss and greater energy efficiency. In the context of windows and glazing, a lower U-Value helps maintain a more stable indoor temperature and reduces heating and cooling costs. The U-Value is an essential parameter in building design for achieving energy-efficient and comfortable indoor environments.

CRI, or Color Rendering Index, is not typically associated with reflective glass. Instead, CRI is a measure used to evaluate the ability of a light source to accurately reproduce the colors of objects compared to natural light. It is measured on a scale from 0 to 100, with higher values indicating better color rendering.

Reflective glass focuses on controlling heat, glare, and light transmission rather than on color rendering. However, the reflective coating on the glass can influence the appearance of colors seen through it, which might indirectly relate to concepts similar to CRI in terms of visual perception quality.
